Hi to all I missed come in and now...goodbye. I have to go do housestuff. Thanks to everyone for the beautiful words about Veteran's Day, I copied and pasted some of the info and the poem in an e-mail to American friends and fam. It's been my experience that some of the most important things (like observing this day) get pushed aside by...well, for example, "Veteran's Day Clearance Sale....Prices on everything now 50% reduced". Bless you all!

A tad worse. It's just a cold or flu, but he isn't happy. Kept him home again, and a friend will be picking up the St. Maarten's lantern he made at school. I'd hate for him to miss out completely, but he's only four, so we'll just bundle him up and spend 10 minutes going to the immediate neighbors and he'll have good memries and some candy.

2:11 am

nancethefan

hey sil

3:41 am

Haz1558

Sil - we usually point new people to Lickety's babble clues, found under Friends of Babble, bottom left. However, they're not available this week. Instead, try Babblers Anonymous, again under Friends of Babble bottom left, and see if someone has posted a list of first and second letters and points values there.

3:41 am

Guardian

i have 23 left here Sil, but i'll help if i can

3:42 am

Haz1558

Also, if you click on the square above the chat (view entire chat log) you can scroll back and see if people have left clues.

3:42 am

SilTee

thanks, that helps I guess, can be a bit frustrating, biven my need to get back to work

3:43 am

SilTee

4:43 am

FMitch

elder, when you speak to your manager you should ask if you can access your email from home so you could get a head start on clearning it down and catching up!

4:45 am

elder

I wish, they will not allow that, due to confidentiality.. the Data Act.

4:46 am

FMitch

fair enough.

4:47 am

Good idea though FMitch.

Atalante

Judi

Damn, Hurshy. You better go get your lottery tickets.

8:20 am

wvteach

8:21 am

MonkeyGames

Is there a really weird s? Besides the weird sn one if there are only 4 of those...

8:34 am

MonkeyGames

Same here.

8:34 am

hurshy

and your E has to be fishy one way or another...

8:34 am

flosey

MonkeyGames

8:35 am

lizmac

TYVM Hurshy, no wonder my monkeys were rendered useless!!

8:35 am

oodleberry

my brain is starting to cramp up

8:35 am

MonkeyGames

Wait... I see a missing plural maybe...

8:35 am

hurshy

8:35 am

Atalante

MonkeyGames

Walter is browsing his video collection... most he has never watched (got them from other parents), the rest he hasn't watched in a long time because he got into Nick Jr. Today we have learned that Nemo is too scary and Lady and teh Tramp is boring. Now he wants Bambi again. I dread explaining that one scene... but it has to happen eventually.

8:39 am

Judi

Sounds like quite an adventure going on there, Monkey.

8:40 am

MonkeyGames

He's home sick. Usually he'd be at school or tearing it up out on the deck or painting or something.

8:41 am

kje

people are starting to light their fireplaces... i can smell them... so nice

8:41 am

MonkeyGames

Musti and Dribble are always hits, but the watch-the-same-one-30-times phase is gone. Oh, we also learned today that after a year of not watching it he still likes Roger Rabbit.

8:41 am

MonkeyGames

I love that, kje. It's heppening here too.

8:41 am

Alisonofwi

gm all..Alison the lurker here...

8:41 am

MonkeyGames

's St. Maarten's nacht, so when we bundle Walter up and take him around the immediate neighbors it'll smell really nice.

8:41 am

oodleberry

one more in upper s

8:42 am

Judi

Now that's interesting. He likes Roger Rabbit, but thinks Nemo is scarey. I would have thought the opposite.

8:42 am

mom2han8

can someone clue the i word, please? It is driving me crazy... probably really obvious... LOL.

8:42 am

kje

nemo loses his mommy and then his daddy... pretty scary sh** for a kid

8:42 am

Alisonofwi

Can anyone tell me what's up with lickeys today?

8:42 am

Judi

in + constellation.

8:42 am

MonkeyGames

What scared him most in Nemo was when he's trying to put the rock into the filter and nearly gets sucked into the fan.

8:42 am

Atalante

he's on holiday

8:42 am

kje

alison - licktety id moving house and will be out for a bit

8:43 am

mom2han8

lickety won't be up all week, they are moving.

8:43 am

MonkeyGames

Lickety is moving into a new house.

8:43 am

Alisonofwi

aha..how dare he!!!lol

8:43 am

kje

yes, we have all expressed our displeasure re: him thinking he needs a life - LOL

8:43 am

Alisonofwi

imagine that..

8:44 am

MonkeyGames

Pinochio, now... he wanted to watch that, and he loves it... but he's scared of the marionettes in the Russian stage scene but completely sanguine about the horrific scenes I had forgotten about where the screaming kids are turned into donkeys to be sent to the salt mines...

8:44 am

oodleberry

se 5 10 please

8:44 am

kje

finally saw those missing Ts... sigh

8:45 am

Judi

There really is a lot of trauma in the Disney classics when you re-visit them as an adult.

8:45 am

bfsog

how does lickety get the clues anyway? does dr_g email them to him?

8:45 am

Haz1558

se5/10 adds a vowel to the dispatched se4/4

8:45 am

MonkeyGames

Not as bad as Grimm's...

8:45 am

Alisonofwi

I usually try to do the grid without looking at your wonderful clues, but since some peole have a life,,I need help~!!

8:45 am

Haz1558

Lickety has a programme he runs to extract the words. He and Dr-G are not in cahoots.

8:46 am

kje

but in disney... good is good and evil is evil for the most part... and good always wins... so that is weirdly comforting as a kid

8:46 am

oodleberry

o ... m... g...FIREWORKS TY TY HAZ!!!!!!!!!!

8:46 am

bfsog

i see, does the program extract it from this page or some other data source? because i have something similar...

8:46 am

Haz1558

Congratulations oodle!

8:46 am

kje

woohoo oodle pro!!! (now get something besides a gray head - LOL)

8:47 am

MonkeyGames

True. Walter's a little young to understand all that yet, so I guess that's why he's scared of dancing puppets but not a torturous transformation into a mine-slave...

I very rarely have a problem with the right and wrong as expressed in Disney.

8:47 am

Atalante

I do know. But I can't remember

8:47 am

kje

everyone here who thinks kje is known for her patience raise their hands.... yes... that is what I thought - LOL

8:47 am

bfsog

i was just wondering, i have my babble clue page but i also have something similar to lickety

8:48 am

bfsog

but today im going it alone, 35 words left

8:48 am

Haz1558

You can't be smug if you can't remember, Ata.

8:48 am

MonkeyGames

He did think Cruella DeVille was nice, because he's too young to see shallow behavior. I had to explain she's pretending to be nice.

8:48 am

kje

LOL haz!!!

8:48 am

Judi

I"m missing one Q and one Y. Crappo.

8:48 am

Atalante

I'm sure I can

8:48 am

kje

8:48 am

Haz1558

One of the q words is a plural.

8:49 am

kje

8:49 am

oodleberry

kje? where is your flag... and how can you be texas in egypt eh??

My uncle is convinced, and i am not entirely unconvinced, that Bush will do something to allow him to declare martial law so he can just stay on.

8:51 am

oodleberry

that is absolutely absurd

8:51 am

bfsog

8:51 am

Judi

Oh, Monkey. That's just silly. There's plenty of socialists to handle that job for him now.

9:21 am

kje

if it was you... no other med problems... and you had the option of removing hardware 1 year s/p ORIF triple malleolar fracture, plate and screws... would you... it is elective

9:21 am

missbeeze

flos, were you not dressed when you were babbling?

9:22 am

kje

hey bee!!!! hi!!!!

9:22 am

featherbee

i went to put some laundry away in the bedroom, was gone just a few minutes. come back, and there's pizza and frozen peas all over the coffee table, and two little boys feasting!

9:22 am

Judi

Missing three E's. Have ea4x2, er4/4 and es5/10. *whimpers*

9:22 am

bubba218

I wwould remove it, only if the hardware was giving me a problem. Sometimes screws are loose or prominent, sometimes they migrate and interfere with motion. If no post op seuelae from hardware, I'd leave them. IMHO

9:23 am

missbeeze

figured so flos, but I thought perhaps - it would be interesting!

9:23 am

bfsog

i havent just hit the wall, the wall fell on top of me

9:23 am

oodleberry

ok later peoples ... see you at one est

9:23 am

bubba218

**sequelae**

9:23 am

CadFan

I'd leave them presuming they are not causing any issues of their own.

9:23 am

missbeeze

eeks feather!

9:23 am

Judi

I'd leave them just to set of the airport metal detectors (from a non-medical point of view).

9:24 am

featherbee

yeah, debating how to clean up the peas from the carpet. pick up one by one, or vacuum.

9:24 am

flosey

ah feather, reminds me of the time we were painting a ceiling - next morning came down and two dear little sons had spilled the large can of paint on the floor and were running back and forth in it with such great glee - I had to laugh

9:24 am

kje

thanks... I am debating... I have a skewed picture after treating too many people with infected hardware... and since I work in a hospital, if i get something, it will be ugly... I appreciate you giving me your opinion

9:24 am

featherbee

oh no flosey! lol

9:24 am

featherbee

well, it seems we're having lunch a bit early here. there could be worse choices than pizza and peas i guess!

9:24 am

kje

they do not set off the detectors... and the only issue is certain shoes i can no longer wear because they rub up under the end of the screw... minor

9:25 am

Judi

Feather, if you have a dog who likes peas...

9:25 am

flosey

we were renovating an old house and the flooring was yet to be replaced so no big deal

9:25 am

bubba218

also removing the fibular hardware including the 1/3 tubular plate requires a fairly long incision

9:25 am

featherbee

nope, she's finicky, unfortunately

9:25 am

kje

ah - good to know... not happy with my incisions now

9:25 am

Judi

Can't say that I blame her. I don't like peas either.

9:26 am

CadFan

How long post surgery at this point kje?

9:26 am

kje

only other issue is that i have thin ankles... so when turned certain wys, i can see the screw bumps - LOL

9:26 am

featherbee

ewie kje

9:27 am

kje

no... do not play into my psychosis feather! I am sure no one ELSE can see them

9:28 am

featherbee

lol!

9:28 am

bubba218

Issues with the hardware are always valid reasons to have them removed, the decision is yours, of course

9:28 am

Judi

Gnarly!

9:28 am

featherbee

well, down to 15 here

9:28 am

bubba218

since I do orthopedic surgery, I don't usually deal with lots of disgusting oozing body parts

:0).... was just popping in to see how teeny tiny the grid is today..... I am impressed, after a few whoppers, to have such a small one, is it nice or nasty ?

9:33 am

Christa

What is th icon theme for today ?

9:33 am

missbeeze

unfortunate about your poofing problem, but I often poof without formally poofing!!

9:33 am

kje

OK Judi, now you are making me feel bad... knock it off!!! : )

9:34 am

9:35 am

kje

OMG - no way, bubba

9:35 am

9:35 am

bubba218

9:35 am

CadFan

I am very well versed in foot surgery......

9:35 am

No guilt trip intended, kje. Your question was light-weight.

9:35 am

Aussieme

Thanks Judi, I will pop and poof if I can....

9:36 am

bubba218

Cadfan, what do you do?

9:36 am

CadFan

Oh - my experience is as a patient. I run on feet that clearly were't meant for it.

Oh, GOD BLESS, Cybernan for posting stats in Bab Anon. I'm saved!

that was the easiest grid i have ever done...interesting. Good thing because I have a lot more to do today and of course Babble is a priority!

10:00 am

kje

woohoo bee!!!! you are such a brainiac

10:00 am

missbeeze

right....i think most people will find this one not as challenging as other grids! You are a braniac too silly!

10:01 am

kje

didn't do it as fast as you, missy!

10:02 am

kje

bee... i think we should trade places... you move back to big D and I'll move back to the east coast... deal?

10:02 am

missbeeze

well missy! I must just be exceptionally sharp today

10:02 am

missbeeze

i'm all over that deal!

10:03 am

kje

our own version of trading spaces... we can film it and become rich : )

10:04 am

missbeeze

that would be wacky, one of those you tube videos that turns into a media sensation

well, i'm going through clearances right now - it is like i've been offered a job with the CIA

10:07 am

kje

so what deep dark secret will the unearth??? i promise i won't tell anyone ; )

10:07 am

missbeeze

but i have been offered that job and I have a TB test and physical today and drug test, and I have to take a copy of my degree, and 3 letters of personal reference, and they are doing my background check and DSS check (this one takes the longest) they are trying to rush everything through, so I should hopefully know by Friday earliest or mid next week

10:08 am

missbeeze

nothing exciting unfortunately - at least I hope not!

10:08 am

10:09 am

missbeeze

it is exciting! I am just paranoid that something will go wrong because I overanalyze and am paranoid!

10:10 am

kje

go do something to distract yourself... get a massage... mani/pedi... a movie... something!

10:11 am

missbeeze

yes that ahole boss is appealing my unemployment, I have a hearing on that matter Wednesday - he discharged me and closed the office for financial reasons, but told unemployment it was for poor performance and that was the reason he gave me - he is a liar - fortunately i protected myself and have a really good case - i sent like 30 pages of documentation - he sent one email he asked for a month after I was no longer working there.

10:12 am

missbeeze

he is an idiot. He played college football on a scholarship - that was one of our problems - communication - he just wasn't smart - and he never understood me and was intimidated by me.

10:13 am

12:29 pm

MonkeyGames

He was actually a shade worse but really turned the corner in the afternoon and i think he can go to school tomorrow no problem. We only did 10 houses or so for Sint Maarten's, but he's 4 so that's fine-- some candy, some good memories.

12:30 pm

They can also recite poetry. But right now what seems most popular is this one song I don't know all of that is clearly the equivalent of "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells".

12:33 pm

FMitch
